„Thla year's sunbathing could be next year* skin cancer”

Jałme Smith was 12 when her OP spotted an abnomul mole on her back. ft was removed a week latrr and sent for tests, which came back pnsitta. She had gdl a malignant melanoma hefore she had even reached her teens.

Skin cancer amnng people in their teens and 20* is łncreasingly conimon. In the United States. it is now the most prevalent cancer among 25- to 29-year-olds. Rum the mid 1970s to the lale 1990*. melanoma rates in the United States rosę 60.5 per cent among women aged 15 to 29. Britain could soon be facing a similar explosion of cases. According to skin cancer espert Dr Mark Birch. of the University of Newcastle. the States is hitting 11 miliion new skin cancer cases each year. In the UK we’re hitting about 46.000. which is going up year upon year.

Melanoma is currently the 13*“ most com-mon cancer in the UK. But among people un-der the age of 35. it is the third most common for women and fifth most common in men. Dr Birch believes we are sitting on a skin-cancer time bomb". He wams that what we are doing now may have grave consequences in 15 to 20 years* time.

The only country in the world where cases of skin cancer are not rising is Australia, be-cause of 15 years of skin cancer awareness campaigns. which have focused on protecting < children from the sun.

"Some people estimate that you get up to half your lifctime exposurc to the sun before you ^ are 18”, says Dr Birch. People who are dia-: gnosed with skin cancer in their teens or 20s ; are. in fact, suffering from the consequences ’ of sun damage during childhood.

The Brłtish are not heeding the wamłng* to be careful in the sun. However, contmry to expec-tation. it Is not the Britłsh ahroed who are the problem. Few writild now set foot on a piane wi-thout stocking up on sun cream. Most of the damage is done at home. Whcn Jaime Smith was dlagnosed with cancer. she had never been on a foreign holiday and had never been severely bumt. She says that*s the scary thing about it. You do not havt to bakę yourself in the sun to get skin cancer.

A recent survey found that most people did not get sunbumt while sunbathing. About eight out of ten people who got bumt in the UK did so when they were involved in an outdoor activity rather than actively sunbathing. So we all need to cover up - even when we are just out shop-ping! o

Radio joumallst: Yoga leaves very few of us indifferent. This ancient system has probably as many devoted fans as fierce opponents. In our programme Fit and Fabulous. we have with us today Jessica Fox - an experienced yoga instruc-tor. Jessica, could you tell us what benefits prac-tising yoga can bring?

Jessica Fox: First of all, let's put a few things straight. People somethnes decide to take up yoga, hoping it will solve all their problems. That’s a fundamental misunderstanding. Prac-tising yoga won't allow you to work seven days a week without sleeping or eating properly. It won't stop you from worrying about global war-ming or from losing temper with your partner. It will notbaiance your bank account either.

But this is not to say that yoga isn’t worth your time. Far from it. Even a complete yoga virgin can renp it* benefłt*, and these inctude rehnta-tion and stres* relief, increased strength and flexibillty. Yoga Is an excellent exercl*e, Iow--impoct and virtually equipment-free. HoWe-ver. it tend* to inspire huge misconception*. Contrary to what some people seem to belie-ve. ifs not a religion. It*s a form of exerci*e bom of ancient Indian philosophy; a jestem of breathing practices. physical exerci.se* and posturę*. and meditation intended to integrate one’s body, mind, and spirit.

Radio Journallst: How long does it take before the first cffects can be noticed?

Jessica Fox: It depcndson the individual. but certainly most people expenence benefit* from yoga immediately. Aftera few session*, people say that they feel euphoric, they sleep better, their mind becomes steady and focused. The way I like to describe it is that our everyday li-fe leaves a thin layer of filth and grime on you, and yoga bums it off.

Radio Journallst: Does yoga require physical strength?

Jessica Fox: Even though practising yoga brings a certain measure of inner peace and tra-nquillity, it’s not the equivalent of taking a so-othing nap and waking up in shape. Some of the postures (they are called ‘asanas’) can be quite tough. A session will usually start with some warm-up postures and move to morę vi-gorous and challenging ones. While practising, students are required to assume intimidating positions such as *eagle\ ‘downward facing dog’ or ‘plow’ for as long as one minutę. If it doesn’tseem long toyou-try for yourself. Ba-sically, anyone can do yoga, but it is chailen-ging, no matter whether you are in good physical shape or not.

Radio journalist: Jessica. thank you for be-ing with us today. o
